Jul 23 – Beyond Boomtown China

How does small-town China live in the shadow of the country’s boomtown cities? How do ordinary Chinese in towns most people have not even heard of grapple with the conflicting forces of tradition and modernity? How do so many of them circumvent the one-child policy – and what does that mean for consumption trends? How do small local businesses cope with the expansion plans of the big retailers? Mr Kunal Sinha, Executive Director of Discovery, Ogilvy & Mather Greater China’s consumer insights and trends unit, will share insights from his time in field in China’s 4th to 6th tier towns, as described in the new book China Beyond.
